Unexpected and challenging: How to manage pancreatic lithiasis!
Authors: A. Martins Pinto da Costa, E. Santos Pérez, C. Santos Cotes, B. Agudo Castillo, M. González-Haba Ruiz
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Lithiasis in the main pancreatic duct (MPD) are uncommon in the absence of chronic pancreatitis and at an early age. A 29-year-old woman with a history of acute pancreatitis was referred for marked dilation, beading and sacculation of MPD seen on MRI. Ductal lesion could not be ruled so EUS was performed, showing a large 17mm intraductal lithiasis at the pancreatic neck. Pancreatoscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy was performed. Through ERCP a 7Fr x 12cm stent was placed after extraction of lithiasis fragments with a balloon. EUS is a useful tool for diagnosis of pancreatic lithiasis. Lithotripsy should be considered as a first line treatment.

In this study, we present a novel endoscopic device developed to facilitate rectosigmoidal ESD by combination of rigid instruments and flexible endoscopy.
Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome(MALS) – A Case Report On The Use Of EUS As A Diagnostic And Therapuetic Tool Prior To Definitive Sugery
Authors: A. Zoabi, H. Awadie
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare condition with unknown etiology resulting from compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament (MAL). MALS is characterized by abdominal pain, weight loss, and abdominal bruit. CT angiography (CTA) may demonstrate compression of the celiac artery by the MAL. Data are limited on the value of EUS with celiac plexus block (CPB) for the treatment of MALS.
Successful endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi Syndrome type III under stent use and cholangioscopy-assisted intraluminal lithotripsy
Authors: D. Vazquez Gomez, N. Zaragoza Velasco, M. Albuquerque Miranda, E. Pijoan Comas, I. Miguel Salas, N. Torres Monclus, D. C. Bayas Pástor, I. Pascual, L. Verges Aleix, F. González-Huix Lladó
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Mirizzi Syndrome (MS) can be difficult to treat and represents a challenge for the endoscopist since it is often not possible to access or to capture impacted large stones in the cystic duct or gallbladder neck. We report a case of MS type III, caused by a 35-mm gallstone at the confluence of the cystic duct, succesfully treated by advanced endoscopic procedures during ERCP (papiloplasty, the use of stents and cholangioscopy-assisted lithotripsy). This case also highlights the important role of this procedures in selected MS patients considering individual comorbidities and surgery risk, allowing them to avoid surgery.

Endoscopic Exudation Score is Correlated with Fecal Calprotectin, Clinical Activity, and Future Relapse in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis
Authors: S. Kim, B. I. Lee, K. M. Lee, Y. W. Cho, H. H. Lee, S. Y. Na, J. S. Kim, S. B. Kang, Y. S. Cho, S. W. Kim, H. Choi, M. G. Choi
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims The accuracy of fecal calprotectin (fCal) in identifying endoscopic activity is modest in patients with ulcerative colitis. We evaluated whether a scale based on exudation, alone or in combination with pre-existing endoscopic activity index, would improve correlation with fCal and patient-reported outcomes (PRO-2), as well as predict clinical relapse.

Mistake during endoscopic snare papillectomy
Authors: T. Schepis, V. Perri, P. Familiari, I. Boskoski, R. Landi, V. Bove, S. Cristiano, G. Costamagna, A. Tringali
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 74 year-old lady underwent endoscopic papillectomy. At the end of en-bloc resection severe bleeding occurred. A 25-gauge needle was advanced to perform a submucosal injection of diluted epinephrine (1:10000). The presence of abundant amount of blood in the duodenum reduced the visibility and an excessive pression on the needle tip led to duodenal wall perforation. Two 16 mm endoclips were placed and promptly closed the duodenal wall defect. The patient was referred for urgent CT scan, confirming the presence of free air in the retroperitoneum. After 7 days a control CT scan showed reduction of the retropeumoperitoneum without collections. Clinical course was uneventful. The patient is free of recurrence after 2 year.

Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims The latest guidelines advocate real-time monitoring in the first hour of small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) to ensure entire small bowel visualization. However, in clinical practice the adherence is poor and supporting data are scarce. We aimed to evaluate risk factors of incomplete SBCE and to ascertain the importance of real-time monitoring.
Biliary RFA for recanalization of blocked SEMS (2 stents in stent) in a case of peri-ampullary malignancy- A video case report
Authors: S. Zubin, R. Puri, B. Sahu, A. Kathuria
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

It's role post self-expanding metal stent(SEMS) insertion in bile duct is less commonly known. We describe a case of malignant peri-ampullary growth post SEMS who presented with features of blocked SEMS and mild cholangitis. We used Intraductal stent RFA (IS-RFA) to recanalize the blocked SEMS and provide an alternative treatment options to these patients.

Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text 1st case: woman with metastatic breast cancer,admitted for lithiasic cholecystitis. Exploratory laparoscopy showed invasion of the gallbladder by liver metastases.The patient underwent EUS-GBD with successful placement of LAMS. 2nd case: man with cholangiocarcinoma admitted for acute cholecystitis with peri-vesicular abscess. Initially submitted to percutaneous cholecystostomy without success and then to cholecistoduodenostomy (+LAMS). Due to persistent fever, endoscopic clearance of stent obstruction was needed with subsequent clinical improvement. 3rd case:man with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma with duodenal invasion and obstructive jaundice. Cholecystoduodenostomy was performed with success [1].

EDGE procedure gone wrong: switch to NOTES
Authors: L. Monino, T. Moreels
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 66-year old male with a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) developed a post operative biliary stricture after cholecystectomy with choledochotomy. A two step EDGE procedure was performed. During the LAMS deployment, the distal flange immediately migrated out of the excluded stomach into the peritoneal cavity. The LAMS was removed while securing the guidewire into the excluded stomach. Then, a new LAMS was correctly deployed using the initial gastrogastrostomy fistula. Prophylactic antibiotic treatment was given and the patient was able to return home the next day. One week later, the actual EDGE-ERCP procedure with cholangioscopy was performed through the LAMS without adverse event.

Authors: C. Lavín Expósito, R. M. Jurado Monroy, M. Velasco Del Burgo, V. Rodriguez Romero, M. C. Gonzalez Marín, M. L. Hidalgo Juárez, A. Bouhmidi Assakali
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Adequate bowel preparation is an essential requirement to perform a safe and quality colonoscopy. To this end, it is essential that the patient is well informed through clear, precise and easy-to-follow instructions prior to the examination, as well as precautions to be taken in case of taking certain types of drugs that may influence the examination. In April 2019, we implemented a prep-scan nursing consultation where clinical data is collected and instructions are given to ensure proper colon preparation, reduce patient anxiety and increase quality of care. The main objetive is to demonstrate the importance of a colonoscopy prep nursing consultation [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

Analysis of 125 patients with endoscopically diagnosed human intestinal spirochetosis
Authors: T. Takezawa, O. Masahiro, S. Hirotsugu, Y. Hayashi, Y. Tomonori, K. L. Alan, Y. Hironori
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Human intestinal spirochetosis (HIS) is defined by the presence of a layer of spirochetes attached by one cell end to the colorectal epithelium. Brachyspira species are the etiologic agents responsible for HIS. While many patients with HIS have no symptoms, some have chronic diarrhea and bloody stool. There is little known about pathogenicity of HIS, and awareness is still low. The characteristics of patients treated for HIS were reviewed.

Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Weight regain and dumping syndrome (DS) are two relevant long-term adverse events after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) related to the dilation of the gastro-jejunal anastomosis. Transoral outlet reduction (TORe) is a minimally invasive and repeatable endoscopic procedure that was introduced to treat these conditions when medical treatment fails. In this case series, we evaluate the technical feasibility and short and medium-term outcomes of re-TORe in patients with weight regain and/or DS recurrence after primary TORe.
